Prior to arrival, we spent $400 to have an electrician come out and get our electrical set up right. Plan for that little extra expense. The sauna arrived sooner than predicted, which is always a nice surprise. The packaging was solid and in pristine condition, no damage at all. The manufacturer communicates thoroughly throughout the process. Two people can easily unpackage this and set it up. Everything went together solid and looks beautiful. The sauna gets up to 149-151 degrees Fahrenheit. It fluctuates between those two temperatures once it maxes out. I’m 5’4” tall and can comfortably lay all the way across the back benches with a couple inches to spare. I sweat profusely after thirty minutes at max temperature. I already notice an improvement in the quality of my skin texture after just two weeks of almost daily use. If I feel sluggish after dinner, I use the sauna, take a shower at normal temperature, and then rinse in cold water for a minute. I’m re-energenized after that. I love the chromotherapy or reading light option and my husband seems to enjoy the Bluetooth option. Money well spent!
